History and Foundation of Physical Education is a 4-credit GE offered by the Department of Physical Education under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a theory GE (as listed on the GE PYQ handout 'History and Foundation of Physical Education' and on college GE booklets). As per the syllabus scan available via CDN (handout, undated, 2022-23) and cross-verified with the live Physical Education DSC booklets on shivaji.du.ac.in, the course covers Unit I history of physical education in India and the world, Unit II foundations (philosophical/scientific), Unit III contemporary physical education and Unit IV institutions and awards (e.g., Arjuna/Dronacharya), with reference to national policies. The official GE PDF is not separately hosted on du.ac.in under that exact title for 2022-23, so we cite the CDN handout (cdn-only) with live cross-reference to the department's DSC pattern. Examination is 90 theory +30 internal as per GE pattern. Students lose marks by writing general history without institutional/policy specifics the syllabus lists, which examiners ask as 10-mark long answers (as of 12 Sept 2026).
